In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/64s: Fix unrecoverable MCE calling async handler from NMI The
machine check handler is not considered NMI on 64s. The early handler is
the true NMI handler, and then it schedules the machine_check_exception
handler to run when interrupts are enabled. This works fine except the case
of an unrecoverable MCE, where the true NMI is taken when MSR[RI] is clear,
it can not recover, so it calls machine_check_exception directly so
something might be done about it. Calling an async handler from NMI context
can result in irq state and other things getting corrupted. This can also
trigger the BUG at arch/powerpc/include/asm/interrupt.h:168
BUG_ON(!arch_irq_disabled_regs(regs) && !(regs->msr & MSR_EE)); Fix this by
making an _async version of the handler which is called in the normal case,
and a NMI version that is called for unrecoverable interrupts.
